Panhandle behavior 

Murdering people close to you without any reasonable expectation of getting away with it.

Violent criminal behavior that is neither well-thoughtout nor sophisticated — usually involving (but not limited) to a trailer park, and occuring in a god-awful small town.

The phrase was coined by comedians James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman of Small Town Murder Podcast.
Billy Joe shot his sister, Bobbie Lee, in broad daylight because she was going to turn him into the police for robbing their neighbor’s house five years ago. Billy Joe was caught in a trailer park 2 miles away from the scene of the crime with her pick-up truck, jewelry and bloody clothes. Billy Joe is exhibiting major panhandle behavior, I tell you what!

Panhandle Behavior 

Murdering people close to you without any expectation of getting away with it.

This idiotic criminal behavior is perpetrated by those who live in part of a state that juts out from the main portion of the state, like the handle on a frying pan.
For those living in the panhandle of a state, it is advised that they get back to the pan to avoid being needlessly slaughtered by those closest to them.
"Stabbing a family of three while heavily intoxicated and then stealing a farmer's tractor as your getaway vehicle is panhandle behavior."

"A man exhibits panhandle behavior by saying: 'I'll kill her, and then when they ask me if I did it, I'm gonna say NOPE! and maybe that'll work.'"

The West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic 

This proven ideal is that people living in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia are two or more years behind in society, but live only one half mile from two adjoining states. If a certain line of clothing and/or jewelry is popular now in those two adjoining states, rest assured it will not catch on until 2011 in the WV panhandle. Additionally to that, all teenage boys seem to have red hair and the traditional bowl cut from the mid to late 1990's and wear black tennis shoes to all occassions. Women in this epidemic seem to have a fetish for Looney Tunes T's and/or other cartoons.
"Hey man, isn't this Aeropostale shirt sweet?"

reply: "yeah man, if it was 2001"

"why is he wearing black tennis shoes to the homecoming?"

reply: "because he's a card carrying member of the West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic"
